How can it not be true? It's clearly from the hospital." Livy couldn't accept that fact being denied. She was sure of the test results."Livy, shut up! Stop meddling in my domestic affairs." Nicky was annoyed with her sister for making things worse."Sis. Don't be stupid! Don't be blinded by love so you can't see what's right and what's not.""Livy, I know what I'm doing. You're still a kid so you don't need to worry about things that don't concern you. This has nothing to do with you anyway."Livy didn't accept being considered a kid. Hell, she was twenty-two years old and she was an adult. Livy knew what was right and what wasn't."I'm an adult, sis. And I can tell the difference between being sincere and being taken advantage of." Livy said as she glanced at Audrey. She insinuated Audrey with her words."Livy I don't want to hear your words anymore. Whatever you say and try to prove will not change the fact that Alea is my daughter."Livy rolled her eyes lazily. Nicky was still stu
Nicky tossed the file to Daniel and Daniel picked it up immediately. He opened it tensely.Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw. The report contained the results of Nicky and Alea's DNA tests, which stated that they were related by blood."Are you satisfied?" Nicky quipped when she saw Daniel's changed face.Finding out that Alea was Nicky's biological daughter, Kenzie then looked at Audrey with a question mark. Because what she knew was the opposite. Kenzie did not understand everything that happened to the adults. She couldn't just believe it.Audrey immediately looked at Kenzie, she was worried that the child would talk to everyone and tell the truth. Audrey couldn't possibly explain to Kenzie right now because there were so many people there.She just hoped that Kenzie wouldn't do anything wrong. Audrey looked at Kenzie meaningfully.Seeing Daniel only silent with shock, Nicky's father then approached him and took the report. He was also surprised by the results there
It felt like things were completely chaotic and unclear. Nicky's father was getting more and more emotional with the unclear reality.There were two DNA test reports with different results, he didn't know which one to believe.Moreover, both tests were revealed by his two children.He was getting dizzy with this problem."Nicky. Come with me!" Nicky's father was furious and forced his son to leave the party.Nicky had a look of objection on his face. "Dad, I can't just leave here. I have Audrey and Alea to take home.""I don't care, come with me or you won't like what I'm going to do later," he threatened his son.Nicky was in a dilemma, he knew his father was strict. Once he said it, it would happen. Nicky didn't want his father to do something to Audrey later but Nicky also couldn't leave Audrey here alone to face Daniel.She couldn't bear to see the distressed look on Audrey's face.Audrey then spoke to Nicky. "Go, I'll be fine here. You don't have to worry.""But ...."Audrey shoo
Daniel had always been able to play with her feelings. He seemed to be in control of her feelings at the moment. Daniel still held Audrey tightly, exhaling his breath behind the woman's shoulder."Please Audrey, tell me. Tell me the truth about Alea."Audrey jerked away and pushed Daniel's body back hard. She looked at him angrily. "How many times have I told you that Alea is not your daughter? If you don't believe me, just do a DNA test yourself. I don't care how many times you take the test, the fact is that Alea is not your daughter!" Audrey exclaimed at him.Showing her anger in front of Daniel. He had to know that Audrey wasn't messing around with her words. At least this was the only way Audrey could make Daniel believe her.Audrey swallowed heavily. She looked at Daniel sternly. She showed her eyes with seriousness.Daniel flinched at Audrey's reaction. At this moment a sudden doubt came over him. Never before had Audrey been this angry and serious to him. Daniel doubted that w
Daniel looked at Audrey with annoyance when she blamed him for everything that happened. It was Audrey who had abandoned him five years ago by faking her death, and now she was blaming him. "Really? You're blaming me now?" Daniel said sarcastically. Audrey glared at him sharply. This argument felt like a domestic argument where a husband and wife were arguing at the moment. Audrey just wanted him to stay away from her even though her heart sometimes betrayed her. "Because that's what happened. I'm talking about facts!" Audrey balked. "Facts you say? If only you hadn't faked your death, maybe none of this would have happened. You just left without an explanation, don't you know how I felt afterward?" "It was all because of you! If only you hadn't conspired with Patricia to utilize my womb, maybe I would have never pretended to die." Daniel hissed in dismay. "I told you I didn't do that! It was all Patricia and her parents. I knew nothing about the embryo injections." Audrey flin
Nicky just moved without saying anything. Audrey felt that it was useless to talk to Nicky, the man would not listen to her at all.Then Audrey turned to Nicky's father who looked sad looking at his son. Audrey took the initiative to approach the old man and ask him."Daddy, what exactly happened? Why can you say that? Of course, Nicky isn't going anywhere." Audrey said, but the man ignored Audrey completely.Audrey felt sad that she was not considered by the Wilson family at all.Then, suddenly, Nicky's father walked into the center of the hall and made an announcement.All eyes were now on him."On behalf of the family, I apologize for the incident that happened and has become public knowledge. Maybe it's our fault for rushing the wedding decision for them. We didn't know Audrey very well."There was an instant silence. Everyone was watching very seriously."We originally thought that if Nicky could live with the woman of his choice then it would bring good to our family, but the op
Nicky shook his head vigorously. She did not want Audrey to leave her."Audrey I beg you, don't go. Stay with me.""I won't be gone forever, Nicky. We don't need to see each other for a while until things calm down.""I'm sorry that things have turned out this way. Things are messed up. I'm also angry at all the people who were there. They can only blaspheme without knowing the truth."Audrey smiled slightly. She felt the same way, but what could she do?People could only judge from the outside without knowing the truth. Just as they were quick to worship, so were they quick to insult and Audrey would remember that not to trust anyone too much."Have you thought about marriage?" Audrey asked Nicky. "The current situation is complicated and I don't think it will be possible for this marriage to continue.""Marriage is our business, no one can stop us," Nicky said vehemently. She didn't accept it when her father said he was going to cancel their wedding.Audrey touched Nicky's chest to
In the car along the way, Audrey's gaze was fixed on the road as they passed with a blank stare.She thought about Nicky's words that he would never be able to take Kenzie from Daniel.To be honest, she also doubted it, but seeing Kenzie's gaze who wanted to be with her, Audrey couldn't bear it and always thought about the child.She felt guilty for leaving Kenzie with Daniel. If only she had brought Ke zie with her, the three of them would have had a happy life together. And Audrey wouldn't have to deal with Daniel anymore.Every time she saw Kenzie's gaze, Audrey felt sad.She then looked at Alea, who was currently asleep on her lap. She gently stroked her daughter's head.Maybe she was selfish for separating a child from her biological father, but Audrey had to do it.She chose this path so that Alea would not suffer like she did.As long as Patricia and her parents were around Daniel, they certainly wouldn't let Alea's life be peaceful. Audrey is also worried about Baskoro's grand
Daniel parked his car in the parking lot of an apartment building in the capital city.The apartment was quite luxurious and very comfortable.He took the elevator and got off on the floor he was heading to. Upon reaching the door, Daniel rang the bell.Lily opened the door.“What is it?” Daniel asked directly.Lily opened the door wide, inviting him in.He stepped further inside, his eyes landing on a large suitcase, half-filled with clothes.Raising an eyebrow, Daniel asked, “Are you leaving?”Lily nodded. “I’m moving out,” she said as she resumed folding clothes and putting them into the suitcase.“Moving? Why so sudden?” Daniel was puzzled by her abrupt decision.“Some people at the office have started gossiping. They’ve figured out that I live in this luxurious apartment,” Lily explained.Daniel didn’t see the problem.“Wait, I still don’t understand what you mean.”Lily paused her folding, then stood a few steps in front of him.“Sir, if people find out that this apartment was a
Daniel couldn’t simply ignore the surge of anger he felt imagining Audrey going out with another man."Tell me, who did you go with?" Daniel asked in a deep tone.Audrey was annoyed with him. She had asked him to leave, but Daniel persisted with his questions.She stood up from the bed where Alea was sleeping and faced Daniel directly. She boldly looked him in the eye. "Yes, I went out with Vincent earlier, and this jacket is his."Hearing that, Daniel's jealousy burned even hotter. His fists clenched tightly as he heard Vincent's name mentioned.His mind suddenly flashed back to Vincent's question at Abraham's house.Vincent had unexpectedly asked how well Daniel knew Audrey. Did that mean they had known each other for a long time?"Are you and Vincent—""There’s no need for baseless assumptions. We met by chance."Audrey bit her lip, feeling foolish. Why was she even explaining this to Daniel?Daniel never explained where he went or what he did.Still, her response offered Daniel so
Audrey would return Vincent's suit another time.She clicked her tongue. That meant she would have to meet Vincent again later, even though Audrey was reluctant to deal with him anymore. She knew Vincent wouldn’t stop bothering her easily.Audrey stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to head to Kenzie's treatment room.As soon as the elevator doors opened on her floor, she stepped out. A few nurses on duty greeted her warmly, and Audrey returned their smiles, though she felt far too drained to smile sincerely at the moment.Walking down the hallway past several treatment rooms, she finally reached Kenzie's room. When she opened the door, she saw Daniel sitting on a long sofa, his head tilted back, looking at her.It seemed he had been waiting for her. Audrey averted her gaze for a moment, closing her eyes. She felt so tired—not just physically, but emotionally as well.Right now, she didn’t want to face Daniel.Audrey entered the room and noticed Kenzie was already asleep i
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
